- Heat oil in a pressure cooker and add mustard seeds. When it starts to pop and splutter add cumin seeds, dry red chilli, hing and curry leaves. Sauté on medium flame till cumin turns light brown.- Now add finely chopped onion, ginger and garlic and sauté till onion turns light golden brown, about 3 mins.- Mix in sambar powder and sauté it for 30 seconds. Add chopped tomatoes and cook till it turns pulpy, about 3 mins.- Add 3-4 cups of water, turmeric powder, Brown Sugar, chilli powder and tamarind paste. Increase the heat and bring the water to boil, about 3 minutes.- Mix in cubed potatoes and Round Dudhi and reduce the heat to medium. Cover and cook for about 12-15 minutes or 2 whistles till the vegetables are cooked to tender.- Once the pressure is released, open the lid and mix in finely chopped coriander leaves. Serve it hot with Naan, Chapatti or steamed Rice and enjoy. It tastes better the next day.

Notes:

- Replace Round Dudhi with Courgette or Yellow Cucumber or any other Squash for different taste.

- If you don’t have a pressure cooker, make sure that you use cooked potatoes instead of directly adding raw one as cooked ones will reduce the time in cooking. And also make sure you chop the vegetables to bite sized pieces for fast cooking.
